But lack of strategies can result in potential harm which can be regarded a big disadvantage for the company which can lead to financial loss (Perry and Karpova, 2017).

Competitors were already prepared for competing with Sony as Microsoft launched Xbox 360 which was a great hit and sold 4million products. Apart from this, Sony was known to be in intense war with TOSHIBA company who tied up with Microsoft for gaining various opportunities which can be beneficial for their business.

From the above case scenario, It was clearly analysed that business operations of TESLA Motors is based on continuous innovation of existing products and services. Company has achieved growth and recognition in market after innovating its products such as Cars and other commercial vehicles. In the mid June of 2014. The company has released all his its patent holdings, claiming that open source's innovation is also more powerful. The radical approach to wards the innovation runs deep as evidenced in the technology and design approach of organization's Flagship model, its $69,900 luxury car (Kucel and et. al., 2016). However, there are some technical difference have also been faced by organization while working with Teardown which is an IHS technological team. Innovation designs and unique technical features have been included by organization in its vehicles. Some manufacturing different have been analysed which has provided them support in innovating products and service.

Reflection on Case study

From the above case scenario, it is analysed Netflix Inc is an American over the top media services' provider, which is headquartered in Los Gatos. It is also considered international service provider that keeps on adding members, but rising costs and risks that brings new challenges. However, torrid growth story has brought various new problems as the streamline companies faced eager in order to knock it off its perch (Schuhmacher, Kuester and Hultink, 2018). At present, company is alone at the top of streamlined world and especially if the person peer over the cliff and see the hordes of rivals clambering up to take their spot. Company has faced issues in regulation of business and adding more members due to its continuous rise in cost and innovation of various important business opportunities and regulation. Moreover, higher cost have been justified because the company has been growing quickly too, with customers up in the 25 percent in the past year and almost getting doubled after 2012. The realities of Netflix costly business model are finally catching up to the organization. Advancement in technologies have also provided support to organization in innovation its application and other technological services which they provide to their customers. Another important driver factor in the move rental industry is low costs. The American households spend on an Average, nearly five hours per day watching video content. There are various innovation business responsibilities have been accomplished by organization for completion of various roles and responsibilities at workplace. For resolving issues, company have hired various important contents that needs to be completion of research in appropriate manner. Technological factors is analysed as largest factor that affects company's position towards completion of research.

CASE 10

Critical research on Northern General transport company

The scenario provides clear understanding that company is originated in the early 1900s when Gateshead and District tramways asked permission to extend their Tramway, which is finished at low feel to Chester-Le-Street. Parliament denied this, so the directors have also decided to set up a motor bus operation instead. Recently the company has faced decline in sales and loss of market share in their long distance business and they also need to identify ways to improve their market position.

Ineffective marketing strategies of the organization was the major issues behind their decline in sales and market share. Along with this, company has not applied any innovation in service to sustain in market. The services provided by organization are not fulfilling the requirements of its customers (Allen and et.al.,2015). Although, low rate of investment in business have also restricted organization to innovate its operations in market. For improvement of position and increase in market share the company needs to improve its customer services among long-distance passengers, developing marketing slogan that helps in increasing its promotions among its customers. Further, company also needs to improve the relationship between managers and subordinate at workplace which helps them completion of research in appropriate manner. Although, the organization also needs to find ways to attain competitive advantage such as adopting cost leadership strategy in which company provide quality services at low prices to attain competitors position in the transportations industry.
